The Captain and Inspector set out to hunt lions in Africa, but their stealth is ruined by squeaky shoes and alarm‑clock noises. The boys answer with a makeshift lion costume and an “ah‑ooga” horn, sparking a chaotic chase. After the costume gets stuck, they tie up the Captain, stumble onto a sleeping real lion, trap its head in a hollow log, and lure the Captain into the log before a mad dash into a cave.
